Even after the recent 10.3.1 update, while the camera improved, the ability to quickly focus is still an issue.

Stationary items are no problem at all. Holding the shutter button until it focuses and releasing to capture the image works, but the time required to achieve perfect focus on 'less than stationary' objects like children is still much too long, in my opinion.

Maybe I'm just expecting too much coming from iphone 6 which took stunning pics.

I don't think that any of us are "asking too much" of the phone to take quality action shots like EVERY other comparably priced device on the market. I'm with you, Steve - guess I got too used to my iPhone.

Use time shift. Use it all the time with the kids and works great. Being able to save the time shift and edit later is a really nice option as well. Sometimes can get 2 to 3 great pics out of one moment.

If you want take nice pictures, don't use a BlackBerry. Invest 200 in a Nokia Lumia 830 and you have both. Lovely phone and awesome camera. Has three microphones and shoots perfect videos with Dolby surround,too.

I have both the app that came w phone and camera++ app. Which is better for quick in focus pics of kids.

Camera++ app using snapshot mode is slightly better than the stock camera app. But it's still not up to par with other flagship phones. Camera++ app can only improve slightly because eventually it still calls the Camera API of Blackberry.

The problem is software. Because apparently the camera module used is the same as the one used in the LG G2/G3 and other android flagship phones. So there should be no reason it can't perform as good as those phones.

The Camera has been one of the weakest point of the otherwise excellent Passport.
